Sustainable Livelihood

Our Philosophy

Improve the quality of life of the excluded communities by creating Sustainable Livelihood options in adherence with the principles of social and ecological inclusion.

Time and again, the importance of handholding the underserved with means to avail of reliable income-generating opportunities have been brought to the fore. We believe simple things like transferring the knowledge on innovative and sustainable livelihood practices to the poor and vulnerable communities, supporting them to gain access over land and livelihood assets and mobilising them through institution building can ensure food security and improve their quality of life.

How We Work

Facilitating linkages of communities with government welfare schemes and basic entitlements
